this is the biggest slap in the face blizz has ever come up with in Hearthstone
imagine knowing people were actually waiting for the pet cosmetic for a while (I think it's been teased for at least a year or two) and then putting it behind a 150+ dollar paywall
I mean there still will be people (around 1000 for every 1m players) that will get it from the free pull and we will see those posts on reddit but for the average person this will be not achievable
I really can't wrap my head around this the more I think about it, having a somewhat cool cosmetic only available to a really niche group of players is downright idiotic
Also this change would make it so the excavate package will remain a good package for control warlock decks, instead of it being a frustrating OTK/Combo package.
This is something I was also thinking about
I don't think they designed this card as a OTK/finisher/combo card, it kinda feels like, yeah, ok, it should give you and advantage for the rest of the game after playing it but not instantly kill your opponent in most situations
because in situations where your opponent dies right away the part of the card that says that you gain max health is completely irrelevant and the flavour of the card is completely lost
The best part of whatever the nerf will end up being is we're getting a lot of free dust as they will most likely offer full refunds on all warlock/neutral excavate cards :)
I assume you got Illidan fight as the last one but in the first spot, I think the fights were in the correct order they were just appearing in the wrong slots (although the talking head intros were from the fights that actually should've been in that particular slot)
thanks, I did indeed just get it when the new day started(11pm in the UK)
although I still think there is some inconsistency as all the previous quests from the main chain I got immediately after finishing the previous one
unless there is like a cap, so that lets say if you started doing them today you'd be able to finish the whole chain, but two days ago you'd stop on the next to last one
yeah that is very counterintuitive especially that in the past we used to be able to complete the chain in one sitting no matter when you started
anyone else didn't get the last big quest? after the one with Sindragoss there was the one with playing Death Knight cards but it didn't activate for me
it just says "next daily quest in x hours", I kinda wonder if it just dissappeared and will actually activate when new day starts or if I'll just get 2 random daily event quests
just small fyi, you can actually click on the quest in-game and it will show you all the stages with requirements and rewards for the legendary quests like these
no need to check what the other stages are on the internet :)
I think I've seen somewhere a graphic with runestones bundles and they were indeed the exact amounts you need to buy certain things, like preorder bundles etc
but how that will actually turn out only time will tell, it's blizzard in the end
"Who am I? None of your business!"
Gelbin of Tomorrow really brings out the PTSD from way back when...

In your summary it says:
But then in the blue post
That is a much larger window to earn the packs
Wonder how many Fire spells there are and what are the chances to get another Supernova from a Supernova and go infinite
tbf it's kinda amazing that it's actually only the first time in 10 years that it has happened :D
5th of November, the earliest we ever got the last expansion of the year.... 4 expansion next year confirmed :]

anyone know why exactly is this expansion releasing so early?
are they maybe prepping to start the next standard rotation early as well next year and squeeze 4 expansions next year?
can't remember when or where but I'm sure I heard some time ago that they were thinking about having 4 expansions per year

it was not a bug
they disabled opening standard and class packs because of broken probabilities for legendary cards
everything is back to normal now

tbf this is just a mini-set and I would assume a lot of people skip it or doesnt bother rigth away on day 1 so I can kinda understand it
but when it happens during the full set release it's annoying af
seems amazon appstore is the only one lagging behind for mobile clients
anyone managed to update HS on there yet?

but that's how it's always been right from the start of BGs, so this patch doesn't change anything in that matter
as much as I hate to defend blizzard, I dont see a thing that is p2w in this post, all the new stuff is cosmetics
the only slightly p2w thing is the ability to choose from more heroes at the start of the game
the mode is still completely free and you can't buy power in any way
